Olaf, If the user simply aborts the dialog, the credentials provider is supposed to return null instead of throwing an exception. Moreover, HttpClient makes no provisions to check whether the same credentials have been tried already. It is a responsibility of the custom credentials provider to keep track of authentication attempts and to ensure that credentials known to be invalid are not retried. > --- Wire Log follows (with hostnames anonymized) --- > This is clearly a bug in HttpClient.
